[QUOTE="BMR Tech, post: 14352133, member: 124691"] I hope to release the new F/R bars mid/late this month. Yes - I wish everyone sold the front/rear pairs separate, like we do. Thanks for the words. I love suspension....and love what I do, so I think that may help a little. BMR treats me extremely well, so that also helps. :beer: Yes, in comparison to stock. The Strange Struts and shocks will provide a more comfortable ride, in comparison to the other options being discussed. The P-Springs are considered a "progressive" spring.....but, they are closer to what I would call a dual rate. The only coils that vary in rate are like the bottom 1.5 coils or so, then they transition into the linear portion of the spring. That will enable a great ride, and good handling. As far as mixing a progressive Front with a Linear Rear - why not? You have a 5~% or so higher weight/load up front....so I don't think the lower portion of that progression will hardly ever even be utilized. Also, what I have noticed over time is the "rates" on these springs......and testing, it is somewhat misleading. Example. If you test a spring rate from 0" to 5" of compression......and take an average, what does that actually tell you? It tells me, that, you have to compress a coil 5" just to get it to seat on the strut. SO - that average rate form 0" to 5".....matters because? I am a little disappointed that the rates, and methods of testing are not more readily available, for the offerings on the market. I mean, I design our springs....so I can spit the info out like nothing. For example, our newest true Linear front spring is a 165lb/in design. It is load tested, 682lbs @ 7.5"....with rate checks at 6.5" and 7.5". The wire Dia. is .562".....and has a total of 5.5 coils. Sorry for rambling. Carry on. [/QUOTE]
